Exciting week of sports contests; AR students treated to breakfast
By W-WMS SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADERS

This has been an exciting week at Washington Wilkes Middle School. The sixth grade students who met or exceeded their AR goal were rewarded with breakfast from McDonald's on Friday. Congratulations to all of the sixth graders that met their goals! The end of the fist nine weeks was October 9 and the pass party is October 13.

The middle school football team will play Morgan County on October 12 at 5 p.m. This is the last game of the season. The eighth grade athletes will be honored during halftime, and the band will be playing in the stands at the game. This promises to be a great game, so come out and support the Tigers.

In cross country news this week, the team ran in Morgan County against Morgan and Putnam.
